Lecture

The present tense in the spanish language is used to explain an action that is going on at the moment.

Verbs with the ending -go in the present "yo" form are one of the many irregular conjugations.

This is a list of some of the most common irregular -go ending verbs:

tener (to have)--> yo tengo

venir (to come)--> yo vengo

hacer (to do/make)--> yo hago

salir-(to leave/quit)-> yo salgo

poner (to put/place)--> yo pongo

valer (to be worth)--> yo valgo

traer (to bring/carry)--> yo traigo

caer (to fall)--> yo caigo

However, it's not as complicated as it seems because the "tú", "él/ella/usted", "nosotros", "vosotros/ustedes", and "ellos/ellas" forms have regular conjugations.
